Steven Donziger in Ecuador

Steven Donziger (right) in Ecuador.

This week on CounterSpin: When Steven Donziger ([link removed]) and other attorneys sued Chevron for polluting the soil and water ([link removed]) in Lago Agrio in Ecuador, Chevron moved to have the case held in Ecuador, where they don't have jury trials. When that court ruled against them, they sued against the lawyers that won the verdict, and accused one, Steven Donziger, of corruption, including bribing the judge. When the judge later recanted his testimony, that was somehow not important, and Chevron moved the case back to the US, where they have not only managed to keep themselves from ever facing scrutiny for the original crime, which they don't deny, but have ruined the personal and professional life of the lawyer who internal documents show they had an explicit plan to "demonize."

It sure sounds like a story reporters interested in David vs. Goliath or climate change or corporate power or the future of humanity would care about. But no, it looks more like a story of a case a major fossil fuel company wanted to see silenced that has in fact had that effect ([link removed]) .

We'll talk about what media would really rather you not now about Steven Donziger and Chevron in Ecuador with Paul Paz y Miño, associate director of Amazon Watch ([link removed]) .
